Changing Our Perspective – v2

Rereading Christ’s message on this day
important to our land
How to understand
Christ’s Sermon on the Mount
our place in the world

The Beatitudes on the Fourth
the world as God would see it
a new definition of blessedness
what it means, how to live
blessed in so many ways

Foreign from the world’s calling
the priorities of Man
sharing love with our neighbors
building up those without favor
that all would know God

received July 1, 2010
“This Sunday my sermon is titled “Pursuing More Than Happiness,”
and it is based on Matthew 5:1-13. If you have a few minutes to read
this passage of scripture prior to attending the service, you might get
a little more out of the sermon. In this sermon, I want to challenge us all
to live with greater intentionality and to find deeper levels of meaning
for our lives. Instant gratification can be the enemy of faithful living.
Intentionality is the path to blessedness.”
